| The
Internet - "Word of Mouth on Steroids"
It's
wonderful! For all the years we've owned the Motel, Happy
Customers have spread the word, making us busier than ever!
We no longer spend one penny on advertising. We put all that
money back into the rooms. How great is that?
September
2nd - Lynne and Gary wrote us a poem!! (We LOVE IT!)
Northern Lights, Wawa, is a great place
to stay
Especially at the end of a tiring day
from Huntsville to Wawa is an extremely long drive
But we had a few smiles when we finally did arrive
From the photos of marten, groundhog and
bear cub
to the oh-so-cute rubber duckies perched on the tub
the fox photos reminded us of our fox named Sly
The toothpicks welcomed us with a Friendly message of "HI"
Trivia, Facts, Cartoons - they all made
us groan
Whenever we took a seat on the Throne!
Gonna be a Bear definitely works for me
Even humorous instructions about how to operate the TV
Bandaids, ear plugs, hair elastics - little
extras so right
even a doghouse to rent for $35.00 a night
chocolate kisses, books, cards and crib board
W e understand why you won a Travelers Choice Award
You obviously spent time in the garden
- perhaps even hours
the result was a colourful display of fake flowers
Today we must continue on our way
We thank you for a memorable stay
The
Poor Review on Tripadvisor???
They
called my Cartoons "Nagging?"
Want to know why?? Because they were drawn years ago, specifically
for people like them!
They
trashed gorgeous new towels with black grease (we supply rags
in each room and chalet) & they unloaded the breakfast room
into the chalet & their suitcases!!
We
have to point out that the fellow did look a LOT like Bert.
We never saw his wife, and presume she resembled Olga!
Heck, if their names are "Bert and Olga"..... imagine
how upsetting those cartoons would be for them!
Sure
we could have written to Tripadvisor about the ridiculous review,
and made a big stink........ blah blah blah....... but instead,
it's simply better to understand that 99% of the people that stay
here are fantastic!
In
1999, a wise Motel Owner once told us, "Don't let the bad
Motel Guests mess with your mind. There aren't very many
of them."
George
was right! One of our first rooms we rented made us do a 52 card
pick up!
At that moment we thought that it wouldn't be possible to keep
playing cards in the rooms. But instead of taking the decks
of cards out of every room, we remembered George's words.
10 years later, no one ever did that to us again.
Just goes to show you!
*****************************************************
I
don't usually photograph in-room comments, (I'd be on the computer
forever!) but this one from one of the Rombough kids made us smile!

We
sure laughed one morning when a fellow said to John "I was
telling my wife that looking around at all the "Stuff"
in your Motel Room was the second most fun I ever had in a Motel
Room" Hah!
